Enemy hallucinate event - User01 - 11-24-2017
Hi
I'm trying to check wheter an enemy disappears by hallucination.
GetEntityExists doesn't seems to work, the entity might be still active after the vanish.
I did something like this:
PHP Code:
void enemy(string &in asTimer)
{
stuff
if (GetEntityExists("enemy") == false)
{
stuff
}
}
I don't know how GetEnemyStateName should work.

Anyone?

The function only appears to be meant to check if the entity is active. Not the other way around, strangely.
EDIT: If you want something to happen if the enemy disables, use the "OnAutoDisable" function. That's the furthest thing I can come up with.

You could mathematically count the distance between the Player and the monster by using looping timers, GetEntityPosition and GetPlayerPosition (and Pythagorean Theorem), I guess you could skip the Y dimension for simplicity.
Then call SetEnemyIsHallucination or FadeEnemyToSmoke when it gets too close, and at the same time change a GlobalVariable, which would serve as an indicator of the fact whether the enemy is faded to smoke.
It's kind of an overshot for the effect you need, but I'm 99% sure it would work.
